Colfax Cruise 2008

Kevin and I fell in love with Colfax Avenue last December when we braved 1 foot of falling snow to go on a photo-safari with other photographers. This time, there was no snow, but the sense of adventure lived on. Since I"m six months pregnant, the combination of the heat that day and the walking slowed me down. But didn't stop me from enjoying all that the FAX has to offer. Here are some of my favorite pictures from the Cruise.

This cruise was very different than our winter slog. We covered much less distance and got to walk the 'Fax seeing more along the way. Here's some of my favorites from the day that were captured between our many watering hole stops. The real story is that the cruise is a fun outing with new and old friends with cameras as an excuse!

J.J. & Phil's Engagement

As many of you know, Jessica is pregnant and due in September, so our friend and assistant Rachel Weaver will be shooting Phil and J.J's wedding in her place. Rachel and I had a great time with Phil and J.J. and got some fantastic pictures at the same time. Phil and J.J. met on Match.com, and are what you'd call a perfect match. Perhaps they'll be cast in their next commercial. Like most Colorado couples, they love their dogs, and we're always happy to have people's dogs along on shoots. Their dogs were a bit camera shy that day, and didn't seem to enjoy having their pictures taken, but we were able to get a few nice shots of them as well.

They will be getting married at Boettcher MansionSeptember 20, 2008. We're looking forward to sharing their special day.

Melody & Brent

It's great meeting out of town clients for the first time, and we couldn't have wished for a better couple than Melody and Brent. They came up from Texas on a whirlwind trip to meet their vendors and see the Boettcher Mansion for the first time. We're looking forward to their ceremony at the Red Rocks Trading Post and an intimate reception up the road at Boettcher mansion. Thank you Melody and Brent for being so great to work with.

Robin and Justin are Engaged

When we met Robin and Justin, we were impressed with their commitment to having an environmentally friendly wedding. We discussed at length composting, recycling, florists that use locally grown flowers, caterers who use local produce, etc. Anyway, Robin and Justin are getting married September 6th this year, and we are honored to be a part of their day, and are excited to see all the ways they have reduced the impact a wedding can have on our environment.

Andrea & Kelvin

Rain, wind and cold didn't keep us away from Red Rocks for Andrea and Kelvin's pictures. It's hard to tell that we were fighting the weather because the way they interact with each other took center stage. We're looking forward to being back up at the Red Rocks Trading Post for their wedding in June. Click on the title above to see a slideshow with more images.

Melissa & Ben's Santa Barbara Wedding

Melissa and Ben had a wonderful wedding ceremony and celebration at the beachfront Four Seasons Biltmore in Santa Barbara. We came in from a snowstorm in Denver to find perfect weather in our old hometown. Thanks to everyone for being a great part of the big day, and congratulations to Melissa and Ben!
